This 1979 Topps Wayne Gretzky rookie card (#18) features a card grade of PSA 5 (EX) paired with a PSA/DNA AUTO 9 autograph certification. As is typical for vintage cards of this era, this issue is not serial numbered. The autograph is signed in blue ink across the lower front of the card, contrasting against the Oilers' uniform. PSA has graded 1,829 examples of this card at the EX 5 level, making signed copies with high-grade autograph assessments uncommon.
This card represents a landmark release in sports history, marking Gretzky's rookie card debut following the landmark 1979 NHL-WHA merger. The reverse details his first pro season split between Indianapolis and Edmonton, presenting his early milestones at age 17. The combination of a graded rookie card and a certified autograph captures the start of the career of hockey's most decorated player.Show more
